St. Catharines is the latest and final stop on Joshua’s Singh’s long and winding junior hockey career.

The 21-year-old Edmonton native played last season with Cobourg of the Ontario Junior Hockey League and has also had stops in various leagues in Alberta and British Columbia.

Singh joined the Falcons at the trade deadline and has provided experience and depth on the blueline as the Falcons attempt to repeat as Sutherland Cup champions.

Singh, who collected four assists in 11 regular season games, scored his first goal for the Falcons Friday as St. Catharines defeated the Pelham Panthers 9-1 in Greater Ontario Junior Hockey League playoff action at the Seymour-Hannah Sports Centre.

The Falcons lead the best-of-seven quarter-final playoff series 2-0 and can take a 3-0 stranglehold with a win in Pelham Sunday afternoon at 2:45 p.m.

Singh was thrilled to get his first goal as well as retrieve the souvenir puck.

“It was really good,” Singh said. “It was a good pass from Shirty (Nate Shirton). He’s been making those type of passes all year. The guys are really looking for each other. It’s really on him. I was just at the right spot at the right time.”

Singh landed with the Falcons thanks to the recommendation of Erie Otters assistant coach Wes Wolfe, who coached Singh in Cobourg last season.

“I view him (Wolfe) really highly and the fact he said he would send his own kid here was exactly what I needed to make that decision,” Singh said.
